Ben Greear cc357c2935 mac80211: fix time-is-after bug in mlme ...

commit 7d73cd946d4bc7d44cdc5121b1c61d5d71425dea upstream.

The incorrect timeout check caused probing to happen when it did
not need to happen.  This in turn caused tx performance drop
for around 5 seconds in ath10k-ct driver.  Possibly that tx drop
is due to a secondary issue, but fixing the probe to not happen
when traffic is running fixes the symptom.
